Set Fallback Media Pack for Missing Images

📋 Summary

Let users define which media pack LaunchBox should fall back on when artwork is missing from their selected Platform, Category, or Playlist pack.


🎯 Feature Overview

Introduce a setting to specify a default fallback media pack for missing media assets. Currently, LaunchBox defaults to the Nostalgia set, but this behavior isn’t clear or configurable. Users should be able to designate the fallback pack and even set a priority order for media packs.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A user installs a minimalistic media pack for playlists, but it doesn’t include artwork for all platforms.

  • LaunchBox automatically falls back to the designated default pack for any missing images.

  • The user has full control over which pack acts as the fallback and in what priority.


📦 Benefits

  • Avoids gaps in visual presentation without needing manual file copying.

  • Makes fallback behavior transparent and user-controlled.

  • Supports more modular and creative use of themed or partial media packs.


💡 Notes

  • Could include a “Set as fallback” toggle when installing a media pack.

  • Priority-based fallback logic (like image group prioritization) could be added in settings.
